Looks like it's coming from src/makefiles/Makefile.aix:

ifdef PGXS
BE_DLLLIBS= -Wl,-bI:$(bindir)/postgres/$(POSTGRES_IMP)
else
BE_DLLLIBS= -Wl,-bI:$(top_builddir)/src/backend/$(POSTGRES_IMP)
endif

I think the first case is just wrong (evidently never been tested
before). A look in src/backend/Makefile shows that the POSTGRES_IMP
file is actually installed into $(pkglibdir), so that's probably what
you want there instead of $(bindir)/postgres.
